Unit enrolment packet 2024

Scope

Providers are required to report a unit enrolment packet for each occasion that a student enrols in a unit of study with the provider where:

the provider delivers teaching resources
the provider sets or charges student contributions or tuition fees
the unit of study is wholly work experience in industry, or
the unit of study is undertaken by a domestic student as part of a formal overseas exchange program and will count as credit towards a course with the provider and for which the overseas provider is not charging tuition fees,

except for units of study:

undertaken by overseas students in Australia as part of a formal exchange program where the student is not being charged tuition fees by the provider
for English language intensive courses for overseas students (ELICOS)
for which the cost of resources are met by another Australian provider
involving work experience undertaken as a requirement of a course but which does not meet the definition of work experience in industry or does not count as credit towards the course's total credit requirements
leading to the award of a higher doctorate
for cross-institutional programs where the provider is not meeting the cost of the resources for the unit of study (these unit enrolments are to be reported by the provider that is meeting the cost of the resources)
where the student has been granted an exemption or deferral
undertaken by a domestic student as part of a formal overseas exchange program that will not count as credit towards a course with the provider.

Uniqueness

There cannot be multiple unit enrolment packets with the same combination of values for:

student (UID8 or E313)
unit of study code (E354)
unit of study census date (E489)

A student can study the same unit of study more than once, so long as the commencement and outcome dates do not overlap.

For providers that use AOUs, each unit enrolment packet must also have a unique value for the academic organisational unit code (E333).

Reporting notes

Providers that use academic organisational units (AOUs) are able to report each unit enrolment with multiple fractional values for EFTSL (E339), amount charged (E384), amount paid upfront (E381), loan fee (E529) and HELP loan amount (E558). These fractional values are then summed by the system to the calculate total values for the unit enrolment. A provider reporting AOU extensions must only report the above elements (E339, E384, E381, E529 and E489) in the AOU extension and leave the totals blank in the unit enrolment packet.

Each unit enrolment packet must only contain units of study that contribute to the academic requirements of the course indicated by the course admission identifier (UID15 or combination of E313/E307/E534). Where a student is undertaking units of study with the provider that cannot be counted as credit towards the course or units of study undertaken after the academic requirements of the course have been met, the unit enrolment is to be reported for a separate course admission that identifies the course as a non-award course.
